← ScienceWhich consequence results when misaligned p-orbitals induce steric clash?
A)Reduced catalytic activity observed✓
B)Increased vibrational mode frequency
C)Enhanced electron delocalization occurs
D)Augmented HOMO-LUMO gap develops
💡 Explanation
Reduced catalytic activity is observed because orbital geometries dictate transition state energies; steric hindrance raises these energies via increased electronic repulsion during the reaction, therefore slowing the catalytic process rather than favoring delocalization under specific alignments.
